5.55pm: A solid day's work for the Australia bowlers, knocking England over for what looks like a middling 258. Everyone bar Jason Roy got in, but only Rory Burns and Jonny Bairstow managed to reach 50 - and they didn't get much beyond, either. Still around an hour left in the day, although it's unlikely we'll get in the 18 overs scheduled. That final wicket, by the way, has drawn Nathan Lyon level with Dennis Lillee on 355 Test wickets, joint-third overall for Australia. Back in 10 for the start of the Australia innings

Lyon to Bairstow, OUT, lobbed up, Bairstow has a filthy hack... and picks out deep square leg! Understandable intent but he shovelled that high and not-very-handsome, Khawaja jogging in to take a comfortable catch and conclude the England innings
